Elderly & Handicap Car Door Assist Handle – Multifunctional Support for Easy Entry & Exit

Easier, steadier getting in and out of the car

A solid handle to push up on turns standing up from a car seat into something you can do with confidence. This one hooks onto a part of the car that is already there and already strong, and puts a padded grip right where your hand wants one, so the push comes from your arm as well as your legs.

Made for older adults, for anyone who wants more support getting in and out, and for the people who drive them. It helps you stay steady and avoid slips when you are entering or exiting your vehicle.

Where it goes: the door striker

Open the car door and look at the door frame, at about hip height. You will see a small U-shaped metal loop bolted to the frame. That is the striker, the piece the door latch closes around every time you shut the door. It is bolted through to the car's structure, which is exactly why this handle uses it.

The head of the handle has a deep notch cut into its underside. Drop that notch down over the striker loop and the handle sits out horizontally, ready to hold. When you are done, lift it straight off and take it with you. Nothing is screwed on, clamped or glued, and nothing is left behind on the car.

It is made for the U-shaped metal striker on two bolts that sits on the door frame of cars, with room around the loop for the hook to seat all the way down.

A grip that is easy to hold

The grip is a straight foam barrel with raised rings along it, so a hand that does not close tightly still has something to catch on. It is the same kind of foam used on walking-stick grips, warm to hold in cold weather and secure in the wet. The head is built from ABS and aluminum for the strength and durability you can trust every time you reach for it.

It works the same way from either side of the car, for the driver or a passenger, and it takes a second to put on and a second to take off. Most people keep it in the door pocket or the glovebox.

Two potentially life-saving tools on the same handle

This is the "multifunctional" part of the name. Both emergency tools are built right in:

• A window-breaking point. The polished metal bar projecting from the head narrows to a hard chisel tip, made to be struck against a side window in an emergency.
• A seatbelt cutter. The black cap at the base of the grip has a hooked jaw with a recessed blade inside it. Hook it over a jammed belt and pull.

The blade sits down inside the jaw, safely out of your hand in normal use, and the handle is always within reach because it travels with you.
